Thomas Stechschulte Obituary

Thomas Andrew Stechschulte Actor who 'filled lives with laughter, charisma, charm,' of Teaneck It is with great sorrow that we commemorate the passing of actor Thomas Andrew Stechschulte. Born to Dorothy Pascoe and Dr. Donald Stechschulte in Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania, he lived and died in Teaneck, New Jersey surrounded by his wife Nancy Stechschulte, son Daniel Morgan Stechschulte, and many more family and friends. A loving husband, father, and brother, Thomas filled the lives of his family and those of many strangers with laughter, charisma, and charm through his appearances on Broadway, in films, and in audiobook recordings. Thomas was an active member of the Actor's Equity, the Screen Actor's Guild, and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. We ask that you honor his lifelong commitment to the performing arts by sending donations to the Actor's Fund. All Faiths Cremation Center West New York, NJ 07093 (732) 804-0295

I met Tom at Ohio University when he was in the Actor's Studio there. I was a hopeful freshman hoping to eventually join the Actors Studio
What I remember is how nice and kind he was. I was so glad to learn of his growing success when he was in First Monday in October, and I occasionally Google him. Just learned of his passing. I am so sorry for your loss. I never knew him well but he made a real impact on me when I needed the kind of encouragement he provided. And I'm sure the same was true of many others whose lives were touched by him however briefly. - Lisa Shea Henig (nee Korn)

Was just searching for Tom to thank him for a phenomenal performance as a reader (A Drop of the Hard Stuff, by Lawrence Block). Instead I see I´ve missed my chance to thank him, so I´ll just share here in case a loved one takes some solace in it, that he touched many people with his work and talent. My deepest condolences.

I´ve been an avid listener of audiobooks for many years. Tom was my very favorite narrator. I´m so very sad that he is no longer with us. He had an amazing gift and I´m heartbroken to learn that he won´t be breathing life into some of my favorite books. Condolences and regards to his family and friends.

I Loved his Narration more than any others. I first heard his voice on the original adio version of 'The Lords of Discipline' , by Pat Conroy. I would like to thank him for his gift. He brought value to the world. He will be missed.

We were all very surprised and saddened to learn of Tom`s passing. We were in the acting studio together at Ohio University. After we graduated we did a season of summer stock together at Hope College in Holland Michigan. We had such a good time doing shows together and he was wonderful as Sir Thomas More in A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS. I will be sending Tom light and love and wishing much comfort to his loved ones here still on this side who will be missing his delightful energy and charm! Love to all of you!

I am so sad at learning of Tom's passing. As a friend, classmate fellow actor, I have warm memories of wonderful times with Tom that stretch back more than forty years! He was always a genuinely lovely guy! My sincerest condolences go out to all those who are heartbroken after this deep loss. Bravo, my Brother. Well done!

I have not seen Tom in years, but I have certainly thought of him, always with a smile. I have referred to him when doing workshops if someone talks about changing their name.....an example of staying true to who you are. We worked together for over 10 years. I am grateful to have had that time with him.....grateful to have had him in my life. I send my deepest condolences to his wife and family. I feel your loss. Love you, Tom!
